Michael! How can you insinuate such a bad thing, stealing switches from our buffers!!! Good idea, will see if they are easy to stea... borrow, for...
Hi Mart Im running 235-75/15 front and 265-70/15 back. For more "inspiring driving" I will go lower profiles and more ET on the front wheels. Thanks
Been on the road for the company a lot lately, but here's some things I been experimenting with... The thin doors created a slight problem when it...
Just realized that the lower parts of the door skins must be "double curved" witch requires an English Wheel or something...:mad:. But that...
Thanks again for all those positive comments. It makes you work just a little bit harder to get it right! Roach: It will be harder for me to do an...
As soon as I can get hold of that soap box to replace the cab with, like Rat Rod Roach suggested!!!
Nah... Closer inspection shows that the lower part of the door was worse then I expected. It didn't even fit in the opening... So, before I swing...
Me again... I have to admit it, I've been cheating!!! I run out of sheet metal trying to learn how to form a lower cabcorner! So this is how...
It seems like I managed to log in with different user names... Sorry about that, but Commer and Muller (my family name) is the same user....
Roger my friend! Congratulations! Even though I'm not surprised, this just tells me that there are guys who do it, others who starts and those who...
Ha ha, 36? Year model or size... Sorry, just kidding! Lola is No 2 on my wish list, got that Ford thing on my mind. Looks great though. The Lola...
Mike, I learned from the best!!! There will come more stuff! Exwestracer, thanks for the reminder, I will have a bellypan, but since the gears are...
Short update. The gas pedal is a mix of an old VW design and a side wheel from an old floor sander. Since the pedal and the wire moved in opposite...
You are right, they share some parts together with Bedford. Thanx Toni
Ha ha, well it was the height of the steering rack that caused a minor bumpsteer. With a laser pointer attached to the front wheel, pointing at a...
Good news! The chassis past the first inspection with only 3 minor remarks. (One was a fogotten washer...!) Extremely strong chassis design, the...
To take this discussion to a higher level: In Swedish the word "fart" means "speed"... And sometimes the cops have "fart kontroll". True. Fart...
Ha ha, yes, I will probably try to do the same. Only slightly faster... The cab will get a 3 1/4 inch chop. Thanks Toni
Yupp, old school look inside and out. With some hidden "surprises". Thanks Toni
Yes, I know. I probably would need anti dive angles, but since it´s my first scratch build, it is complicated enough to get all the other angels...
This is the "Knocker". Even with a sound file! http://www.commer.org.nz/Commer_Connections/Other.html Enjoy. Toni
It's my garage buddie's Cobra kit car. It's a Swedish kit made in Estonia...!:o Meaning a lot of parts and nothing fits!!!:confused:
Thanx. No, I'm not fabricator, just crazy and curious. Self learned, mostly by doing mistakes! My garage only have the basic tools and...
Thanx. Since this is my first build I'm pretty nervous...
Pic's.
Now for some pic's from today. The chassis is now ready for the first inspection of three. In Sweden you are allowed to build your own car from...
Congratulations to a very fine project. It´s brutal! Toni
The last pic´s for this time are more brake related. I want the exterior and interior to be as original looking as possible so I made some own...
The brake lines are fun to fabricate and since I choosed the old Volvo system, I got my hands full. Two separate circuits where the both front...
At the middle and front end, a torsion spring system is made. Adjustable ride height and spring stiffness is always good.
Separate names with a comma.
